"Company originally completed a 57' drainage system for customer 2/21/2003. Customer asked to make payments every 2 weeks until paid in full which company agreed to. 12 years after drainage installed company was contacted 10/21/15 by customer to assist with cleaning out drainage, our company rep was sent out the next day 10/22/15 to assist with flushing out. Our rep was going to flush the drainage- using a hose to flush out any sediment or built up debris (this system was not maintained as recommended for 12 years). Customer declined rep to flush the system- that he already did, and was having Roto-rooter come out with a camera to look at drainage. On 10/23/15 customer asked if company would install a free access port for additional spot for clean out, was told the owner of the company would contact him. 10/26/15 customer called again- said waiting for cb from owner- owner was ill for several weeks with the flu, office relayed to customer & told him would have owner cb as soon as was better. The office sent an invoice for our representative's stop- no payment was ever made. 11/2/15-owner spoke to customer: no water on floor, no seepage anywhere, roto-rooter blasted high pressure through system (owner of company told customer not a good idea as can displace stone-bed), customer drilled holes in sump liner to drain water into it all the time-owner explained this will drain the stone-bed too and water will run out of the system & into the stone. Explanation of how the system was installed and how it works was reviewed with customer. Customer feels an issue with drainage that was installed 12 years ago-because water wasn't flowing through it now. Company was never contacted prior to this about any issues or concerns with the system installed. We worked with the customer to help him financially pay for the install and responded immediately when contacted with a need. Our company stands by our work, and we are responsive if any concerns or issues arise giving feedback and suggestions."

They are expensive.  It is a difficult basement and we had while we were living out of the country and they did a phenomenal job.  Their product is really good.  The perimeter system I really working like a charm.  We were going to have them cover the basement walls, they had several products and we had priced them out.  My husband didn’t like the look of their products, so he wanted to see what a general contractor would do because we had tubs that needed to come down and other things that this company will not do.  Their price was okay but I would still have to hire a contractor anyways to do some other work so we did not go with them, but there was so much to do that it made sense to hire a contractor do it all.  They are really good and I would highly recommend Wilcox for basement waterproofing.  The system they put in is an expensive system but it is worth the money.  Their answers to our problems were the best answers.  They were extremely professional.  It is an expensive system but for my house, which is an older house this was the best option to do.  There could be less expensive ways to waterproof your basement but their system works for us.  I can’t compare them with anybody else price-wise because they are the only ones that do this system around here.  Their system solved the problem and solved it permanently.  After having spent $12000 on mold remediation, this system was something I was personally willing to spend money for so that it never happens again.

Yes, it was an expensive improvement, but Wilcox did a fine job and was very good to work with during the entire process.  The gentleman who came to the house initially was professional, knowledgeable, and punctual.  The work crew was also on time and as tidy as could be given the work being done.  Care was taken to protect our belongings from the heavy dust generated.  We also received a follow-up visit.  Between the work Wilcox did for us and some exterior grading corrections, we never had a wet basement again and were able to finish it off for additional use.

I knew I had a problem brewing because one of my unfinished basement walls - cinder block - was becoming discolored and the paint was flaking off. Wilcox did a superb job and their cleanup was surprisingly thorough. I would highly recommend them to anyone with water issues in their basement.

The work was excellent! They showed up right on time and finished the job when they said they would. Cleaned everything up after themselves too. Workmen were friendly and explained everything. Salesman came back when work was done to inspect everything. This company has a patented system; they don't just lay pvc pipes with holes in it. It's more expensive than the other companies we had come, but our basement has been bone-dry ever since! My wife and I are very happy with the results!
